​​​​​​​​​​​​​​AquaNano
is an early-stage company that is developing a new generation of high capacity/selective
media and functional polymers for water treatment, environmental/industrial
separations and beyond. These new materials are being scaled-up and optimized
for commercialization under the trademark of CaptymerTM. The initial focus of AquaNano is on anion
separations. Current anion exchange resins have peaked their capacity and
performance. The company has developed a suite of anion-selective CaptymerTM
media (beads) with exchange capacity equal to 1.5 to 2.0 times those of the
corresponding commercial strong-base and weak-base anion resins (SBA and WBA)
while meeting industry standards in bead integrity, mechanical strength and particle
size distribution. The CaptymerTM material/technology
platform is applicable to a broad range of separation problems including the removal
of contaminants from groundwater; the recovery of nutrients from wastewater; the
extraction of valuable metals from mining solutions and industrial wastewater;
and the removal of impurities/undesired side products from processed foods,
pharmaceuticals, biofuels and nuclear fuels. AquaNano’s current focus is
on groundwater treatment by selective media filtration including removal of
chromium VI, perchlorate, nitrate, and arsenic etc. For more information, please contact us atinfo@captymer.com.​​​​​​
